Is that a intel-hda card? If so, try 3 periods per buffer. It seems
those types of "soundcards"(*) don't work with anything else. You might
also benefit from a slightly smaller frames / period, like 512.

The driver flags mentioned by Ivica Ico Bukvic (position_fix=1) is also
a good idea. My intel-hda "soundcard" only produces distortion without
it.

The alsa driver should be better in the performance sense. You should
try different options for jack until you get it right.

people using linux.
